Post-Game Talk: Keefe Throws Game, Leafs Lose 4-1

[TonsofPuppies]

Starting that 4th line against Kuch's line with the game tied and the momentum in their favour was an all timer for Keefe, even for his standards. Fire this sack of shit into the sun already.

Imagine winning the division and your "reward" is playing Tampa Bay in round 1

 

[wingman75]

Felt like a game where Tampa just overpowered us in key areas. Namely, along the boards, and in front of the net.

Tampa kept the game to the wings after the first period, where our guys are more than happy to stay, because it's easy.

PP once again absolute trash despite the goal, but that could have been any random faceoff.

Woll was not good. He looked like an AHL goalie tonight. The shooters were seeing a lot of net.

Vasi was great in the first, and our enthusiasm to compete fell off after Tampa took the lead. At least the PK is functioning. I actually thought the D as a group were okay and the forwards were totally outclassed in all zones other than Matthews. Bert was not awful.

Not a good showing. Waste of a great effort from Matthews.

 

[BTP]

Our 3rd periods have been god awful lately. Bad trend. Woll was also shit.
Also we need Marner back yesterday.

 

[Beanzy]

I've noticed alot of floating and lazy stick checks from Nylander lately.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Keefe galaxy braining, he's purposely losing games so we don't get second and he doesn't have the ability to f*** up home ice

Matthews was good, his line was too

2nd line was awful. If nylander is hurt, sit the guy. f*** the 100 points. If he wasn't injured, then that was the most pathetic excuse of an attempt of hockey from a star player I've witnessed in quite some time.

Woll solidified the backup role. Ride or Die Samsonov time

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Dumb coach, crappy goalie and no show from the offense tonight about sums it up.

 

[mikeyz]

This team is going nowhere. Absolutely nowhere. They'll be out in 5 at the most in the 1st round.

There's tons of reasons why I think that. But galaxy brain Tommy Boy behind the bench is the biggest reason.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Keefe is an absolutely terrible coach, what the hell is he doing?

 

[Lightsol]

I don't think there's a team in the league better at stick-grabbing than Tampa Bay. But what I can't figure out is, HOW DO THEY NEVER GET CALLED? They generate 2-on-1's by grabbing defensemen's sticks and pulling them down and the refs just let it go?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Woll allowing the first shot in again.

Keefe playing the 4th line against Tampa’s 1st which features an MVP candidate.

Keefe sticking with McMann-Tavares-Nylander when they’ve been terrible the past few games.

The Kid Line can’t be relied upon to score every game, and the fourth line isn’t built to score and isn’t built to matchup against the other teams top lines, least of all with Brodie as one of the defensemen with them. Marner can’t come back soon enough. Gotta re-jig line 2.

At least Matthews scored again and we weren’t shutout. PK is still going strong too.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Dumb coach, crappy goalie and no show from the offense tonight about sums it up.

Stupid president who endorses this buffoon of a coach too.

 

[Ho Lee Mackinaw]

Playing the 4th line against one of the best lines in the league on a defensive zone face off is the definition of a Pee-Wee mistake.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

They were okay the first two periods but then they fell completely flat in the 3rd.

Outshot 12-4 in the 3rd period. Not like you were down 3-1 with a playoff clinching scenario on the horizon. Pathetic performance all around.

Keefe with the stupid decision to put the 4th line out against their 1st which ends up in the goal. Can't wait until his ass is canned this off season

 

[Duffman955]

Reaves was our best player.

f***ed up Jeannot

Get her woke ass out of here along with keefe

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Keefe is an absolutely terrible coach, what the hell is he doing?

It's like that brainlet purposefully tries to lose games. I honestly can't think of another explanation, because even incompetence has its limits.

 

[ACC1224]

I didn’t think they were that bad.
Needed a few saves.

 

[Mr_Fun]

A few guys showed up, a few didn't (including the coach). Meh, this one doesn't really move the needle for me either way. If Vasi is on, then so is Tampa.

 

[Divine]

Play Woll every game until the playoffs

If he doesn't get his game on track by the playoffs - this team is toast. Samsonov cannot be our playoff starter.

 

[6ix]

Wasn’t even a bad effort. One team has competent coach and a goalie that actually made saves.

Keefe and Woll should go back to the AHL.

 

[fahad203]

Tavares - awful
Nylander - awfuller

That's 22 million dollar

If I got paid to buy timmies and coffee to play in NHL, i would bring it every night

Jen Boetril is having a conniption fit about all the hits and fights

She was visibly upset in the first intermission after they talked about the Rangers / Devils line brawl. Like red in the face upset. I understand her perspective, but this is what the league is. Maybe she should cover a different league?

I disagree with most of her takes when it comes to physicality.
